on the topic of animations

Note: This tutorial is for advanced users. Proceed with caution

I've had many many people ask me about how to do animations in icons. Most of my knowledge comes from the lovely mannequinskin, but I've taught myself a few things as well. This tutorial expands to AS3 as well, so you won't be able to do this without an animating program of some kind.

Snow Animation

[daydreamer_1983]

Do you by chance have the snow base in a banner size (something around 500 x 300)?

the size provided is the size I found it as, sorry!

Try google.

Question: I used your tutorial for my snow animations since I use PS7 but I use Image Ready for the animation part. Whenever anyone asks me how I did my snow icons, I refer them here (thanks for the amazing tuts btw) but not everyone is able to translate it like I was and comes back asking me how I did it or asks you how to do it in IR. Do you mind if I make a tut specifically for Image Ready on falling snow animation? I will still refer people to you since I didn't have any problems translating it and because it seems kind of redundant to do a tut for PS7 twice but I guess some people need step-by-step information specifically for one program. Would you mind?

you can even post that here if you want, I'll give you access.
